Abstract

Microplastics have become a major threat to humans. Indonesians are estimated to consume 15 grams of microplastic per capita per month, equivalent to three ATM cards, one source of which is tea bags. Unknowingly, these tea bags release or produce microplastics, which can become toxic if they pollute the environment. This microplastic waste can be channeled into the ocean through waterways. Researchers conducted a study aimed at determining how to make Bastefia Bag using banana stem fiber as the raw material and its efficiency as a substitute for commercial tea bags. The research method used was an experiment, namely conducting organoleptic tests, comparing Bastefia Bag with ordinary tea bags in terms of solubility in water at 100°C, and biodegradability tests. The results of this study indicate that banana stem fiber is effective as a raw material for Bastefia Bag without altering the function of commercial tea bags.

Abstract

Orally ingested polyethylene (LDPE) microplastics are suspected to impair cognitive function through disturbances in the central nervous system, particularly in cognitive regions such as the cortex and hippocampus. This study aims to evaluate the effect of varying oral doses of LDPE microplastics on the cognitive function of Wistar Rattus norvegicus using the Morris Water Maze (MWM) test. This experimental study employed a post-test only control group design involving 21 male Wistar rats divided into four groups: a control group and three treatment groups receiving LDPE microplastics at low dose and high dose administered orally for 28 days (particle size ≤20 µm). Cognitive function was assessed using the latency time to locate the hidden platform in the MWM and analyzed statistically. The mean latency tended to increase with increasing dose. Using the control group as the baseline, there was a slight increase in the outcome in the low dose group, and a markedly higher increase observed in the high dose group. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between the control group and the high dose group (p = 0.009). Oral administration of LDPE microplastics at  high dose for 28 days was associated with a significant impairment in cognitive function.

Abstract

Polyethylene microplastics are widely used in single-use products and can enter the body through contaminated food or beverages. After ingestion, these particles may cross the intestinal barrier and reach systemic circulation. Their presence in blood is suspected to induce oxidative stress through increased reactive oxygen species, potentially affecting erythrocyte membrane integrity. Erythrocytes are essential for oxygen transport, and structural damage may reduce their flexibility and lead to morphological abnormalities. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between microplastic counts in blood and erythrocyte profiles in Wistar rats exposed orally to polyethylene microplastics. A quantitative experimental study with a post-test only control group design was conducted. Male Wistar rats were assigned to one control group and three exposure groups receiving different microplastic doses for four weeks. Microplastics were identified using light microscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, while erythrocyte profiles were assessed through peripheral blood smears and hematological examination. Microplastics were detected in exposed groups, accompanied by several abnormal erythrocyte forms. However, no significant differences or correlations were observed between microplastic counts and erythrocyte parameters. Oral exposure to polyethylene microplastics did not significantly alter erythrocyte profiles, although potential morphological effects cannot be excluded.

Abstract

The effectiveness of the eco-campus program remains suboptimal due to weak integration among environmental, behavioral, and ergonomic aspects of campus users. This research aims to design strategies to enhance the effectiveness of the eco-campus program at Universitas PGRI Adi Buana Surabaya through a green ergonomics approach. Data were collected through observation, questionnaire distribution, and interviews involving all members of the academic community. The data were identified using a Fishbone Diagram and analyzed using the SWOT method to determine internal and external factors, followed by the formulation of improvement strategies using the QSPM method.The results of the study produced four strategies, namely S1, S2, S3, and S4. The prioritized strategy is S1—an Integrated Green Ergonomics Model—with the highest total score of 3.60. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the total attractiveness scores of the following factors: dependence on expensive technology (T3), lack of national Green Ergonomics standards (T4), changes in internal leadership policies (T2), resistance to organizational cultural change (T1), low awareness of the academic community regarding Green Ergonomics (W2), limited budget and management priorities (W4), support for sustainable research grants (O3), and the lack of cross-unit integration in eco-campus implementation (W1).

Abstract

Quantifying the existence value of post-mining conservation areas is essential for justifying their legal protection and securing conservation finance, yet such assessments remain scarce in Indonesian tropical settings. This study estimates the existence value of Lati Petangis Grand Forest Park (Tahura Lati Petangis/TLP), a conservation area established from former coal mining land in Paser Regency, East Kalimantan. The Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) with a Willingness to Pay (WTP) approach was applied to 96 visitor respondents. Results show a weighted mean WTP of IDR 178,486 per individual with an 87.5% participation rate. The existence value was estimated at IDR 21,284,188,625 for the visitor population and IDR 752,608,083 for surrounding local communities, yielding a combined total existence value of IDR 22,036,796,708 per year, equivalent to 2.29% of the total economic value under the moderate scenario. The high existence value reflects strong public support for preserving this post-mining landscape and provides empirical grounding for conservation policy and Payment for Ecosystem Services mechanisms at comparable restoration sites across Indonesia.

Abstract

The daily transportation sector is a major source of air pollution and CO2 emissions in Jember Regency, driven by the growth of motorized vehicles and fossil fuel consumption. This study aims to project CO2 emissions from daily transportation and to assess the potential of local biogas as a renewable energy alternative for fossil fuel substitution. A quantitative approach based on secondary data was applied using multi-horizon projections for 2030, 2045, and 2060. Transportation-related CO2 emissions were estimated using the IPCC methodology for mobile combustion, while biogas potential was calculated from organic municipal waste, livestock manure, agricultural and plantation residues, and landfill methane using volatile solids–biochemical methane potential and first-order decay approaches. The results indicate that transportation emissions are projected to increase, while Jember Regency has significant local biogas potential, equivalent to 2.98–3.20 PJ of energy per year, indicating opportunities for partial fossil fuel substitution through a scenario-based approach.

Abstract

Microplastic pollution from laundry waste poses a threat to soil and water. A device called SALIA (Liquid Waste Filter) was created to filter microplastics before the wastewater is discharged into the sewer. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of the SALIA device in filtering microplastic particles from laundry wastewater using an experimental method. The device was designed with natural fibers including straw, water hyacinth stems, coconut fiber, luffa, and gravel. Experimental testing was conducted on two device designs: the first with a thickness of 1-2 cm and the second with a thickness of 3-4 cm. The first device, tested with a 1-liter sample, showed an average reduction of 82.35%. Meanwhile, the second device, tested with a 30-liter sample, successfully reduced particles by up to 99%. The results showed that both devices reduced the number of microplastic particles from laundry wastewater. The large thickness of the material makes the filter path long, making microplastics easily trapped. These findings provide hope for efforts to reduce microplastics with simple tools and local materials.

Abstract

Environmental monitoring in the Lapindo mudflow area has primarily focused on pollution assessment, with limited attention to the relationship between extreme water quality conditions and the corrosive environment affecting metallic infrastructure. This study evaluated physicochemical water quality in the Porong River mud reservoir to assess its potential influence on metal degradation. Water samples were collected in triplicate from eight strategically selected sites using stratified random sampling and analyzed using standard physicochemical methods. Severe spatial variations were observed, with Total Suspended Solids reaching 98,910 mg/L, dissolved oxygen depleted to 0.0 mg/L, and Chemical Oxygen Demand peaking at 4,182 mg/L, indicating highly polluted and anoxic conditions. The combination of elevated suspended solids, organic pollutants, and oxygen depletion creates an aggressive electrolytic environment that may accelerate corrosion processes. These findings provide new insights into corrosion-related environmental conditions in mud-volcanic aquatic systems and support environmental monitoring and infrastructure management in long-term mudflow-affected areas.
